(Welcome to The Daily Stream, an ongoing series in which the /Film team shares what they've been watching, why it's worth checking out, and where you can stream it.)
The Film: "Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa"
Where You Can Stream It: YouTube
The Pitch: Everyone that celebrates Christmas probably has a holiday movie that they watch to get them in the spirit. For some, it's the Rankin and Bass claymation specials. For others, it's "Die Hard." Growing up, "Elf" and "A Christmas Story" during its 24-hour marathon on TBS were my family's go-tos for Christmas morning cheer.
Of course, I still follow this tradition — I will defend "Elf" as a whimsically fun time until my dying breath. However, as I grew older and developed my own taste in films, I expanded my holiday watches. Nowadays, I turn on stuff like "Black Christmas" and the first two "Silent Night, Deadly Night" movies,...

Last week we saw the Lythgoe Family Productions presentation of Cinderella at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, California. We also had a chance to sit with the key members of the cast and talk about the British Panto style and other projects they have in the works.
Of course we were beside ourselves to think we would be sitting in a room with Jerry "Beaver Cleaver" Mathers. But we were also honored to talk to Harry Potter actor Freddie Stroma, Broadway star Jennifer Leigh Warren, newcomer Veronica Dunne, and stand out actors from the production Benny Harris and Eddie Driscoll.
They were all very excited to be involved in the U.S.'s first performance of a Panto, which incorporates current references, contemporary music and broad (oftentimes double entendre heavy) humor into a classic fairy tale. They told us that it took some getting used to for the...

We are not what you would call fans of audience participation. In fact when we hear the words we usually run in the other direction. But there's something about the Lythgoe Family Productions' version of Cinderella that had us cheering from our seats and calling out "Hello But'ons" whenever Benny Harris took to the stage. The musical extravaganza, now playing at the El Portal Theatre, is a British Panto version of the classic children's story.
The star-studded fare is produced by So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe, along with his wife Bonnie (the director) and son Kris (the playwright). The choreography comes courtesy of Dancing With the Star's Mark Ballas.
Headlining the cast is Jerry Mathers (of Leave it to Beaver fame) as Cinderella's father Baron Hardup, who lost all his money to Bernie Madoff. Freddie Stroma, who played Cormac McLaggen in...
